MALAT1 modulates trophoblast phenotype via miR-101-3p/VEGFA axis
Arch Biochem Biophys. 2023 Jul 10:109692. doi: 10.1016/j.abb.2023.109692. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPreeclampsia is a potentially life-threatening condition that can arise due to poor placentation and consequent abnormal uterine spiral artery remodeling. Abnormal placentation, in turn, is associated with aberrant trophoblast cell proliferation and apoptosis. Here, we investigated the lncRNA MALAT1 in trophoblast proliferation during early-onset preeclampsia (ePE). MALAT1 levels were examined in placental tissue samples from ePE patients and control patients. The effects and underlying mechanism of MALAT1 on proliferati...

Endoscopic manifestations of jejunal choriocarcinoma
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2023 Jun 14. doi: 10.17235/reed.2023.9714/2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChoriocarcinoma, a malignant tumor deriving from the trophoblastic tissue, is mostly associated with adverse pregnancy. Early metastasis is very common in patient with choriocarcinoma, but the cases of intestinal metastasis are definitely rare. Herein, we reported a case of jejunal choriocarcinoma revealed by endoscopy. Segmental resection of the jejunum as well as biopsy of liver nodules were performed. The patient was classified as super high-risk choriocarcinoma and received chemotherapy and surgical treatment. Unfortunatel...

Pure testicular choriocarcinoma with gastrointestinal metastasis and paraneoplastic symptoms: a case report
Pure testicular choriocarcinoma is a rare type of non-seminomatous germ cell tumor extremely poor prognostic with the tendency to bleed at the metastatic site. At the time of the diagnosis, 70% of patients hav... (Source: BMC Urology)

HIF-1 α contributes to metastasis in choriocarcinoma by regulating DEC1 expression
ConclusionHIF-1 α contributed to EMT and metastasis through activation of canonical β-catenin signalling in choriocarcinoma and this process was dependent on DEC1. This study provides a new mechanism of HIF-1α in choriocarcinoma and suggests that intervention with DEC1 might be a promising therapeutic choice for choriocarcinoma.

Challenging gestational trophoblastic disease cases and mimics: An exemplar for the management of rare tumours
CONCLUSION: The National GTD service could be an exemplar for the management of rare tumours (such as cholangiocarcinoma) in our jurisdiction which could benefit from a similar constellation of supports. Our study demonstrates the importance of a nominated national clinical lead, dedicated nurse navigator support, registration of cases and networking. The impact of our service would be greater if registration was mandatory rather than voluntary. Such a measure would also ensure equity of access for patients to the service, assist in quantifying the need for resourcing and facilitate research to improve outcomes.PMID:372247...
